He won’t be the first Christian caricatured by the media. I read someplace today that the Queen is worth about 30 billion dollars. I assume he’ll get that if he doesn’t die before his mom, who seems to be doing great at eighty-eight.

I hope you are correct. Honestly, though, I don’t put any confidence in that Anglican Church at all. Hopefully, he supplements his Christianity elsewhere.

The Queen's wealth is complicated. If you take everything she technically owns, thirty billion dollars probably isn't far wrong (I'd say closer to twenty but it's in the ball park) but the vast majority of it is out of her control and really is more the property of the nation than herself. Having said that, even if you only count her personal wealth, she's still worth at least in the hundreds of millions and probably in the low billions. She's an extremely rich lady by any measure.

The Prince of Wales himself is worth at least in the high tens of millions, and both his sons are worth at least ten million or twenty million themselves (Harry is actually richer than his older brother at the moment, because the Princess of Wales left most of her estate to him on the basis that William would one day inherit the bulk of his father and grandmother's estates).

The family is ridiculously privileged in a lot of ways - and they know it. I think that is part of why most of them do have the sense of duty they have - because they know that if they didn't, eventually there'd be a huge backlash. But even if part of the duty comes from that, it's genuine.
